We have a 69 viscount ambassador and don't know whether its the original lock but I found one in Bunning's that is identical to the one on our van, its called a RIM night latch and the link to the site is

Hope this helps

Thanks jmooney!!
I have just brought the lock tonight, can I ask how you fitted it on as the old one had a 2" square backing plate with the centre having the lock, if that makes sense

Sorry Jann not quite sure what you mean send a picture!
Found out that lock was not the original when we took ours off. Looks like they used the same hole although they may have made it bigger an d lock plate on the door frame was definitely smaller than the replacement.
